Improved diagnostics for NWP verification in the tropics by Koh, Tieh Yong., Ng, Jun Siang.

“…The alpha indices show that (after bias correction) COAMPS performs best for wind, followed by temperature and then by dew point depression. In this tropical region, 1-day persistence forecasts were only outperformed by the model for wind predictions between 400 mb and 850 mb at forecast times less than 24 hr. …”

Tropical application of floating treatment wetlands by Weragoda, S. K., Jinadasa, K. B. S. N., Zhang, Dong Qing, Gersberg, Richard M., Tan, Soon Keat, Tanaka, Norio, Ng, Wun Jern

“…The treatment efficiencies of floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) containing two types of macrophytes, Typha angustifolia and Canna iridiflora, were investigated in a pilot scale study in the tropical climate of Sri Lanka. In batch experiments, over 80 % of biological oxygen demand (BOD5) and ammonium (NH 4 +-N) removal was observed, while nitrate (NO 3 −-N) removal was over 40 %. …”

Butyrate can support PAOs but not GAOs in tropical climates by Wang, Li, Liu, Jianbo, Oehmen, Adrian, Le, Chencheng, Geng, Yikun, Zhou, Yan

“…The results of this study demonstrate that butyrate, as a supplemental or sole carbon source, could be promising for EBPR in tropical climates. When the carbon source was gradually changed from acetate to butyrate, a substantial PAO population was found under both conditions, despite a substantial shift in the abundance of Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis (decreased from 37.4% to 13.9%) to Rhodocyclaceae (increased from 2.0% to 14.5%), where both organisms likely played an important role in P-removal. …”
